Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 342
Only Noblemtl
I guess he evaluated me that way because of my snout that resembles a bear. If you go down to the deep sea, you can meet creatures with a similar oral structure to mine. Maybe he saw my changed head and thought of the animals he saw back home and said I was cute.
‘Well, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with your body.’
After a brief inspection, I looked up.
Now it’s time to hunt the demon before your eyes.
I flapped my outstretched wings vigorously. The energy released by the wings helped my body move easily in the weightless space of space.
My body moves quickly like a battleship moving at full speed. Adhai and No. 26 are following me closely behind.
Even while I was evolving, the Ring of Agony and the Imperial Carrier were in the midst of a fight. The relatively lightly armed destroyers had long since been annihilated, and only the Imperial Carriers remained, fighting hard.
As we appeared, one of the Imperial Carriers turned some of the guns of its secondary armament, the ‘Black Cannon’, towards me. Then, the other Imperial Carriers followed suit and prepared to attack me.
With only eight batteries installed per Imperial Carrier, the Black Cannon is a very powerful weapon, even if it is inferior to the Cosmic Bolt.
The Black Cannon has two modes: when fighting small numbers of enemies, it fires a black heat ray, and when fighting fleets, it fires a sphere that forms an artificial black hole.
Although they are different in form, both use dark matter, the same energy source as the Cosmic Bolt, so their power itself is incomparable to that of a normal battleship. In fact, when the Cult Fleet and the Star Union Fleet fought before, the Imperial Carrier fired black hole bullets with its black cannon, causing massive damage.
Soon, the four Black Cannons, the anti-fleet guns, opened fire. Black heat rays reminiscent of black holes flew towards me to burn me up.
‘Of course, if it doesn’t fit, it’s useless.’
I folded my wings just in time during the flight. Four black heat rays flew around me, barely grazing my body.
Adhai, who was following behind, also skillfully avoided the heat rays by freely changing his orbit.
Meanwhile, the other Black Cannons were pouring down fire on the Ring of Agony.
“-”
Arms burning in the heat ray applaud silently.
The bastard’s firepower is more than twice as strong when he is twisted into a figure 8 shape rather than in a normal ring shape. This is still the case now that only half of his original body has been summoned.
As the power to manipulate gravity is unleashed, space ripples like a piece of paper fluttering in the wind. The power that distorts the laws of physics of reality spreads out and reaches the defenders of Berzan 02.
Then the Imperial Carrier began to twist like a twisted egg from the tip up, completely ignoring the thick armor and shields created by the Carrier.
The other Imperial carriers who saw that stopped firing at me and focused all their black cannons on Vortex One. The smooth outer wall of the ship, like a cut diamond, cracked and opened at the corners. The cannons inside shot black spheres, black hole rounds.
“-”
The ring of agony applauds again.
Then the black sphere stopped in the middle of space as if it were blocked by an invisible wall. The space around the sphere was distorted and all light was sucked out.
It was a bad decision to shoot a black hole bullet at Vortex One, who can manipulate gravity.
The black hole bullet that creates a small black hole is impossible to identify. The unnamed imperial carrier that went out to rescue its comrades was caught in the weapon it fired. The huge ship contracted rapidly and soon disappeared into the abyss of space.
Meanwhile, I approached the Ring of Agony and struck its body with my combat arm and bone sickle arm.
Its body size was smaller than when it had grown into a giant bone beast, but its strength had grown stronger. Its bone scythe, as cold as the stars floating in space, tore apart the arms that covered the rings. And its three heads with double jaws bit the beast without mercy.
Flesh, made from a fusion of organic matter and energy, seeps into my body. Amorph’s excellent digestive system absorbs Vortex One’s flesh and converts it into nutrients.
The bastard also realized that I had become stronger than before and immediately began to respond. As the arms on the surface crossed in an X shape, numerous energy bullets struck my body.
‘It’s an energy bullet.’
If he had just created a counter-force and pushed me away, the damage would have been less. He chose the wrong option.
My body was quickly tattered from being hit by the rain of death at close range, but my strength actually grew stronger.
Additionally, body size.
My heads and arms embedded in the bastard’s body grew rapidly due to the Tyrantroid effect. From the bastard’s perspective, it was like inserting dozens of hemostatic sponges into his wounds.
Surely this was a pain of a different dimension, and the bastard stopped moving for a moment. I shook the heads embedded in the ring’s body and stirred the enemy’s body.
There’s something I have to do while he’s not moving.
‘Where is the core?’
Vortex Ones are beings that transcend normal life forms and do not have limbs or digestive organs such as intestines.
However, there are organs such as the heart and brain that are necessary to maintain and operate the physical body. These organs are called ‘Abysmal Cores’, and if they are destroyed, the summoned Vortex One will die.
If Amorph wants to steal Vortex One’s genetic essence, he must devour this Abyssal Core.
「–」
The bastard must have realized that I was eating his meat and searching for his core, because he reacted immediately. His arms clasped together and an overwhelming counterforce came crashing down on me. My body was thrown back, but I wasn’t pushed back helplessly like before.
Right now, my arms and head are stuck in the bastard’s body, acting as anchors. I was able to hold on because the elasticity doesn’t work on the inside, although it might work on the surface.
“Pain relief activated!”
“Pain relief activated!”
Of course, it can only withstand it, and it doesn’t even offset the impact from the recoil. The wounds from the energy bullets are opening up, and the thick shell is completely broken.
After the shell was shattered, it was time for muscles and bones. The exposed muscles were torn and bones were broken by the elasticity created by the Vortex One. A fountain of blood gushed out from my body, filling the weightless space.
‘… strong!’
Even if it’s just a simple use of self-preservation ability, it’s still incredibly powerful. If gravity manipulation ability is also involved, even I wouldn’t be safe.
‘It’s almost time to come… .’
He must have had similar thoughts to me, because he put his hands together to applaud.
At that moment, the bastard’s body shook slightly. The defender of Berzan 02, who had not been completely defeated, attacked the bastard.
“—-”
The bastard’s arms crossed in an X instead of clapping. It must have been his intention to first clear out the less troublesome enemy Imperial Carriers before killing me.
After the arms changed position, a strong but short wave was felt. After that, the movement of the Imperial Carrier was no longer felt.
“-”
The guy who sank the Imperial Carrier with an energy bullet is trying to change his position. The moment those countless palms touch each other, my body will be completely crushed.
But it’s not just me and the Imperial Carrier here.
The bastard’s body suddenly starts to tremble. This is because Adhai, carrying No. 26 on his back, has flown in and pierced the bastard.
The arms move to kill the annoying enemy that has attached itself to them.
‘Is that even possible?’
No. 26, who creates a shield that blocks anything, and Adhai, who can protect himself with red armor. Even if they are Vortex One, it is impossible to kill them both easily.
And my auxiliary organs finally detected something alien. A large organic mass, about 10 meters in size, was nearby.
‘Absurd Core!’
After confirming the location of the core, I pulled out the erosion tentacles from its back. Then, I grabbed the surface of the ring where the core was and tore it with the tentacles.
“—–”
The one who realized that his core had been exposed took a new stance. All his arms were stretched out in front of him, fists clenched.
Then, the figure-eight-shaped body that had been torn in half was split into small pieces. Like a lizard cutting off its tail in times of danger, the parts where my head and arms were embedded were cut off.
‘I knew it.’
The area where the core is hidden has moved away, but this was also planned.
The broken parts of the ring were reassembled, returning to the shape of a figure 8 with only half of it remaining. Because I had to separate a part of its body, it had shrunk in size compared to before.
I prepared the next card right away, my head buried in the body that had lost its owner.
The thing that merged with me from a distance moves to finish me off.
Just before he started clapping, a wave came flying from somewhere and touched the tip of my monster’s tentacle.
“Wow! A new house is coming!”
“Not yet” “Not here”
‘You’re finally here!’
The new house that No. 26 is talking about.
There is only one thing that can be called a new home for the guy.
A blue halo of light is concentrated in the middle of the empty space. A structure of enormous mass appears, tearing through the light.
This is Megacorp’s 2km diameter superweapon, Giga Cracker.
I asked for a favor as I sent off Heavenly Mother in Berzan 02.
Once the dangers of the Aur Constellation are roughly sorted out, bring in the Giga Cracker.
Now that the Imperial Carriers have been annihilated, the Super Weapon carrying the Heavenly Mother, PS-111, and Isabel has appeared here.
–
‘omg?!’
Alshas opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the white ceiling. The design of marble blocks neatly arranged gave off a luxurious atmosphere.
But somewhere, a terrible stench came over me and I couldn’t appreciate the beauty at all.
‘Hey, where is this?’
The white ceiling and the awful smell. I couldn’t even tell where I was.
I tried to turn my head to check my surroundings, but my body wouldn’t move. I couldn’t feel anything in my body, so I could only blink my eyes.
‘Come to think of it, back then I… .’
She recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness.
When she encountered Aimov, she used ‘Simulacrum’ without a second thought, intending to escape while buying time with the clone.
It wasn’t a bad idea, and the results were decent. While the bastard was tearing apart the clone, she managed to crawl out of the airship unharmed.
She ran towards the door of the hangar, leaving behind the replicas that were shrinking in real time. However, something unknown pricked her neck along the way. By the time she felt the sting, she had already fallen to the floor.
Her current physical condition is like that, and it seems like she was paralyzed by poison. She must have been brought to this room by that bastard after she collapsed.
‘…I need to recover quickly.’
I don’t know why he was kept alive, but he’s the infamous Aimov. If we don’t hurry and restore his senses, we don’t know what will happen to him.
“Are you awake?”
At that moment, a woman’s voice came to her ear. It was a familiar yet strangely different voice.
‘Who is it?’
“I am PS-111. I serve the main controller, ‘C-Demon’, and the sub-controller, ‘Aimorph’.”
‘Eimov? Wait, how did you know what I was thinking?’
“Aimoff said. The subject had the ability to create clones using his voice. So he made it so they couldn’t speak.”
‘what?’
“But don’t worry. I can verify all of the subject’s thoughts.”
The simulacrum’s activation condition is to draw blood from your hand and shout a command into that blood.
From what I could tell from the unidentified voice speaking, it seemed like they didn’t even know they needed blood.
But if she thought about it, the other person would notice, so she quickly thought of something else.
‘Where is this place?’
“This is the ‘Giga Cracker’ built by Megacorp Noble Capital St. Kay. I am managing it under the command of the sub-controller.”
‘… Giga Cracker?’
“Yes. For your information, this is a remodeled factory. It was built by integrating unnecessary facilities.”
If what he says is true, then it will be very difficult to escape. There is no way that Aimov, who has obtained a superweapon, will let his management become lax.
The only good thing is that the owner of the familiar voice answers her questions fluently. If she can trick him, she might be able to get out of here safely.
‘PS-111, can you help me? I am an innocent person. It was not my intention to fight with Aimov. It was the plan of those above me.’
“Is that so?”
‘Yes. Since you can read my thoughts, you know that what I say is true, right?’
She is a master at deceiving others, whether in reality or in this world. Managing her own thoughts is a very easy task.
“It is not confirmed to be false based on physical reactions.”
The other person was silent for a moment and then agreed. She gained confidence and got straight to the point.
‘You don’t need much help with this. Just tell me where the hangar is. I’ll take care of the rest.’
“The hangar is at the end of corridor 51.”
‘Thank you! You are such a kind person!’
“Thank you for the compliment.”
If you know where the hangar is, the rest is easy. Once your paralyzed body is released, you can subdue your opponent and run right away.
As she tried to hide her joy at finding hope, the other person’s voice continued.
“But even if I know the location, I can’t go there.”
‘yes?’
“Because the subject’s body is not suitable for movement.”
The content was strange for a message telling people not to run away.
